Configuring a Shared Embedded Entity

Follow these steps to create a shared embedded entity:

1. Create an Entities record for the embedded entity. See "Creating a New Entity" in the Admin Guide for instructions.
2. Add all necessary data fields to the new entity.
3. Add the following three fields to support the shared embedded object functionality:
   • OwnerEntity (nvarchar(100)): This field is used to identify the entity name for the record that "owns" a particular embedded record.
   • OwnerRecordID (int or bigint): This field is used to identify the record in the OwnerEntity that created a particular embedded record.
   • Locked (bit): This field is used to indicate whether or not an embedded record may be updated. When set to 1, the embedded record has a static relationship with one or more container records and cannot be updated.
      
4. Complete the configuration of the embedded entity.
5. Save and close the Entities record.
